Our Slideshows

Interest Meeting

10/07/2024

In this meeting we introduced our club for the 2024-2025 school year. We went over our timeline, including some of the competitions we will participate in, and we introduced our team.

Week 1 - Introduction to Classical Computing

10/10/2024

In this lesson, we covered the basics of classical computing, including binary, logic gates, and some basic circuits.

Week 2 - Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

10/17/2024

In this lesson, we covered the various topics in quantum mehanics including waves vs. particles, wave-particle duality, and the double slit experiment.

Week 3 - Introduction to Python Programming

10/31/2024

In this lesson, we covered the basics of the python programming language including variables, loops, and various mathematical operations.

Week 4 - Quantum Gates

10/31/2024

In this lesson, we covered the basic quantum gates, including the x, y, and z gates, matrices, scalars vs vectors, and the bloch sphere.

Week 5 - Quantum Circuits

11/07/2024

In this lesson, we covered what Qiskit is and the basics of how to use it. We discussed how to add qubits and classical bits, how to draw circuits, apply gates, and more.

Week 6 - Two Qubit Gates and Entanglement

12/12/2024

In this lesson, we continued to learn about quantum gates, focusing on two qubit gates and entanglement. Entanglement is a fundamental quantum phenomenon and will continue to play a major role in our later meetings.

Week 7 - Error Correction

12/19/2024

In this lesson, we learned about the challenges of preventing errors in quantum computers, and learnt about phase and bit flip errors and Shor's Code. We spent the rest of the meeting coding a version of it!

Week 8 - Cirq

01/02/2025

In this lesson, we took a look at one of the other languages, Google Quantum AI's Cirq. This will help during hackathons and improve understanding of how gates and circuits work by seeing them in a different form.

Week 9 - Q#

01/09/2025

In this lesson, we took a look at one of the other languages, Mircrosoft's Q#. This will help understand how gates and circuits operate by looking at them in a different format and make it easier to deal with Q# if it appears in a hackathon.
